Centered...

...in Christ.

Bible Study.Through interaction with God’s Word and one another, it is our hope that the lives of Bible study members will be profoundly changed. The purpose of a Bible study is not to simply learn information or to be a part of a Bible study club, but to allow the Lord to transform our lives. If people are going to be deeply transformed, they will need others along the way, not only to help this transformation, but also to make sure they continue this transformation in the future. ​

At the center of reality, at the center of our lives and at the center of our life together is Jesus Christ. “H﻿e himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church…” (Colossians 1:17,18)

​Prayer.Although His day was filled from morning to night with many pressures and responsibilities -- addressing crowds, healing the sick, granting private interviews, traveling, and training His disciples -- He made prayer a top priority. If Jesus was so dependent upon His fellowship in prayer alone with His Father, how much more we should spend time connecting with God.

Worship.Worship causes us to reflect on the majesty and graciousness of God and Christ, contrasted to our own unworthiness. God does not need our worship, but we must worship Him to please Him. Our singing, praying, studying His Word, giving, and communion are designed by God to bring us closer to Him and to cause us to think more like He thinks, thus becoming more like Him. James 4:8 tells us "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." Our worship not only honors and magnifies God, but it is also for our own edification and strength. Worship helps us develop a God-like and Christ-like character. ​

​Fellowship. Together we show God's grace to the world. No one is perfect. We all sin, but each of us has a purpose here on Earth to show aspects of God to those around us. No matter where we are in our faith, fellowship provides us with strength. Being around other believers gives us the chance to learn and grow in our faith. Spending time with other believers can often lift us up a little bit. They help us to keep our eyes on God. God also works through them to provide us what we need in darker times. Coming together with others can aid in our healing process and give us the encouragement to move forward.
